New here, in need of some understanding.

My name is Julie. I just joined this site today as I was searching for a place to talk with others who truely understand how I am feeling right now.

My wonderful husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 15 months now. I have PCOS and a low progesterone level. I have had a normal HSG and take metformin, 100 mg of Clomid, and progesterone.

After reading some of your topics, I think that you all are wonderful and I really hope the best for you and you will all be in my prayers.

I know they say we shouldn't worry or get stressed out about our infertility, but it is becoming harder and harder for me to keep this from affecting my every day life. You see, I am a sonographer (ultrasound tech) in an OB/GYN office. As I used to absolutely love my job and enjoy going to work each day, lately it is difficult for me to make it through a day of pregnant patients. I know that is selfish and I hate feeling that way, but I don't know where else to turn.

Sorry this was so long, I just haven't really had anyone to talk to about this who has gone through the same issues.

Welcome to DS!! You will love it here! The woman here are amazing and have been very supportive and having given invaluable advice. Infertility pretty much took over my DH and I's life. Between temp taking, OPKs, the emotional rollercoaster it exhausted the both of us. Keep you head up! I also have PCOS and I am currently 7 weeks prego :)

I can understand how that would be hard for you but you have to do the hard thing and decide that these women are contagious! Everytime you touch one who is carrying a baby, she is going to rub off on you! I know it sounds silly but the power of the mind is amazing and it will help you with staying positive! I am so glad you found Daily Strength! I know how much it has helped me and you can see how it helps everyone!

It will be you on that table soon! (Of course you'll have to use a different tech!)

Welcome to DS! You are not selfish at all for feeling the way you do at work. Many of us feel that way when we are around pregnant women yet alone having to do what you do all day.
I pray you get your BFP soon.

Hey, I'm an u/s tech also. Sucks to have to scan babies when you are in our situation. Have to put on a happy face and be friendly and happy for people you don't even know. I sure know how you feel. I just do the best I can and cry when no one is around.

Welcome to DS! I have only been here for a couple of weeks and I can tell you all these women are amazing and are here for you no matter what!
Good luck to you and your DH and I hope you have the baby of your dreams soon! :)

welcome!!!
this place is wonderful. we have been trying for a baby for two years now. i have had two mc's in that time and have been diagnosed with a mutated gene that is most likely causing mc's. every month i hope that i will see that BFP and be that much closer to my dream of being a mom.

Welcome, we've been trying for 15 months too for our 2nd child. Unfortunately it can take over the rest of your life, the TTC game. Great to have you on board &amp; I hope you do get the support you need here. I've been here just 2 or 3 weeks myself &amp; am almost addicted to checking in daily with my new friends!

Welcome to DS! I am new here also and have found that this is such a great place to come and find strength! It must be hard for you at work. I am a teacher and work with mainly other women who are pretty close in age to me. Most of them are pregnant right now also or have just had a baby. You want to be happy for them but it's hard when you really want that for yourself also. They say at my school &quot;don't drink the water if you don't want kids&quot; I say &quot;can we set up a shower in one of the bathroom's please!&quot; :)

welcome to DS, we are happy to have you, I think you will find a lot of support here. You are normal to feel the way you do, keep your head up and keep positive your time will come. It is hard I know I'm a RN and 11 co-workers have been pregnant this year I can't get away ....but I keep on trucking.

Welcome! I can not imagine how you possibly get through your work day. I get upset when a pregnant woman comes in my office and that is rare. I wishyou the best of luck getting pregnant.... until then I hope you get the support you need here.

Welcome to DS. Thank you for your kind words. I hope that you find as much supprt as guidance here as I have. I am sorry that you are also in this difficult struggle. I give you a lot of credit for doing what you do. It must be very hard being at work every day with constant reminders. We are here if you need us.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
